My Visconti Looking East Fountain Pen. Limited Edition 148 of 188.

09/02/2026

My Limited Edition Visconti “Looking East” Fountain Pen. Just a beauty to look at and write with. The pen is a masterpiece of craftsmanship that draws its inspiration from the timeless beauty of traditional Asian architecture. In ancient Eastern cultures, one's house was not merely a place of residence; it was a reflection of personal taste, status, and wealth. This profound connection between architecture and identity is mirrored in the intricate design of our Looking East.

The Visconti Looking East writing instruments boasts a captivating design, with its rose gold vermeil filigree adorning the pen's body in a mesmerizing repeated squared pattern. This intricate detailing harmoniously contrasts with the rich, pearlescent deep blue resin that lies beneath it, creating a visual symphony that captures the essence of both tradition and modernity.

What sets this pen apart is its meticulous attention to detail. Each individual filigree frame is finely worked by engraving, carefully hollowing out a cylinder of silver and coating it with precious rose gold, showcasing the dedication to craftsmanship and the pursuit of excellence that defines the Visconti Looking East writing instruments.

More than just a writing tool, the Visconti Looking East writing instrument is a testament to the rich heritage of Asian design and the profound connection between architecture, identity, and craftsmanship.

The fountain pen features Visconti's in-house 18kt yellow gold nib. I have a very nice fine nib which does in fact seem almost like an extra fine. Keep that in mind when considering nib size. The pen is filled using the double reservoir powerfiller filling mechanism.

Enjoy the eye candy.

My Wancher Flux-Azure Fountain Pen.

08/30/2026

My Flux - Azure Fountain Pen From Wancher in Japan. The pen is equipped with an 18k gold Sh**un nib. This is no doubt the most sizable pen in my collection. However, it is still comfortable to write with due to the design.

The pen's vibrant blue color is decorated with a smattering of different shades of blue, and even black, making it appear like the impossible-to-replicate texture of a tree's bark, while retaining a completely smooth surface. The grip section has a golden sheen with a thin, fluted ring at its bottom separating it from the blue body. This ring adds a layer of complexity, subtly referencing the engraving that can be found on medieval crowns.
Finally, the bottom of the pen is completely flat, allowing you to place it vertically on your desk, or you can it can rest horizontally on its wider side, making a roll-stopper unnecessary.
The FLUX is designed to shatter the barriers from picking up a pen and writing. Enjoy the eye candy.
